My new BooksforBoyos review blog

[Jim]

I have launched a review blog, where I will review books intended for those boys that everyone thinks don't read anymore. They still read, but I hope with my blog they can find a place to see what's out there.
I will review anything sent my way, and reviews will be posted when they're done. Email submissions to mahervolousatyahoodotcom, and if anyone out there feels so inclined to review my books, I would be happy to send you an e-copy.
Thanks everyone, looking forward to getting some reading done.

Some books my middle school students - especially reluctant reader boys - loved: Ship Breaker by Paolo Bacigalupi, Trash by Andy Mulligan, Tangerine by Edward Bloor. Good luck. I, too, am always on a search for great reads for reluctant reader boys.

Hi Jim (and Beverly),

I'd love to send you my book, The Apocalypse Gene. While the main protagonist is a teenage girl, there is an equally important male character, who was mostly written by my partner and co-writer, Carlyle. The book has tons of action to appeal to boys.

It was recently offered as a free reading choice to a 6th Grade class, and the boys loved it as much as the girls. In fact, the teacher told me there's a waiting list for it now!

Here is that teacher's blog post about it - read the comments at the end.

What type of e-reader do you have? I'll send you a copy, if you are interested in reviewing it.

Thanks!

I've got Kindle for PC. Saving up for the real thing, you see. PDF works, too.
All in all, I'd be happy to review your book, Suki. I'll post the review and drop you a line once it's done.
mahervolousatyahoodotcom is the address to send the book.
Thanks!

I'll definitely check out those other books, Beverley. Thanks for the heads-up!
